Our guys at the shop couldn't watch this without busting up laughing.

Is it for real? I dare you guys not to laugh.

Now you all know what our wives hear when we talk about cars around them.

Too f'n funny!

Ich gesprach autowerkenmache nicht! Or somesuch if I'm at the BMW or Merc dealership.

I showed it to my wife, she didn't think it was funny. All the while I'm LMAO!.

On a serious note, a little detective work shows that one really existed :







And:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turboencabulator

Eric,

Save us the pain. What was this supposed to do?

Craig

Absolutely nothing. If you look at the Wiki link, it's basically the script from the video, and some interesting fake drawings from GE. Pretty f'n hilarious, if I may say!

The script to first part of the video:

For a number of years now work has been proceding in order to bring to the crudely conceived idea of a transmission that would not only supply inverse reactive current for use in unilateral phase detractors, but would also be capable of automaticaly synchronizing cardinal grammeters. Such an instrument is the turbo encabulator.

Now basically, the only new principle involved is that instead of power being generated by the relative motions of conductors and fluxes, it is produced by the modial interaction of magnetoreluctance and capacitive directance.

The original machine had a baseplate of prefabulated Amulite, surmounted by a malleable logarithmic casing in such a way that the two spurving bearings were in a direct line with the pentametric fan. The latter consisted simply of six hydrocoptic marzel vanes so-fitted to the ambifacient lunar wane shaft that side fumbling was effectively prevented.

The main winding was of the normal lotus-o-delta type placed in panendermic semi-boloid slots in the stator, every seventh conductor being connected by a nonreversible trem'e pipe to the differential girdlespring on the up-end of the grammeters.

The Turbo Encabulator has now reached a high level of develement, and is being successfully used in the operation of nofer trunnions. Moreover, whenever a barescent skor motion is required, it may be employed in conjunction with a drawn reciprocating dingle arm to reduce sinusodial depleneration.

We were DYING with laughter here at work. The guy who does this in 1 take straight faced it a genius.
